TREGARON Town Council and Ceredigion County Council have teamed up to enhance the town’s street scene as part of the Caru Tregaron project.

Town councillors have recently employed a person to undertake street cleaning and associated activities which supports and complements the work undertaken by the local authority.

County Hall are providing some equipment, consumables and training, as well as making arrangements for the collection and disposal of waste materials collected, as part of this pilot project.

“We are very pleased to be working with the county council on this Caru Tregaron project as it demonstrates that working in a meaningful partnership we can achieve much more than we would individually,” said council chairman Cllr David Bennett.

Local county councillor Catherine Hughes said the people of Tregaron were rightly proud of their town.

“It is hoped that through this project and having a greater and more visible local involvement will help further promote positive behaviours in terms of dealing with waste responsibly and keeping the town looking at its very best,” she added.

The Caru Tregaron project is being developed as part of the wider Caru Ceredigion which encourages local communities to get pro-actively and positively involved in issues and concerns which are important to them.
